So back in July I got this great book and I have decided to tackle each challenge one month at a time when possible. The first challenge was to Write Down 3 Things You Are Grateful For every day for 30 days. I will try to be extending each challenge to 40 days because the number 40 is a very spiritual and meaningful number, but if I do not make it to 40 and at least make it to 30 I will not beat myself up over it. But as you can see in my previous posts I made it to Day 36- good job me! It was fun and I am so glad I did it- especially when this challenge is usually reserved for the month of November.

But when the month of August came around the challenge was to Meditate for 5-10 Minutes Every Day for 30 days. It became VERY hard to do- much harder then I was anticipating. I also ended up not liking "Christian guided meditation" as much as I thought I could get past the cheesiness and the annoying voice. I got very distracted but was able to do it till Day 12 when I decided to just wait till school started up again and do 2 challenges for September.
Meditation has been a little harder than I expected but after I found a few Christian video with just soothing piano music and the occasional Bible Verse I gave up on the guided ones and decided to just breath and stretch while reading the Bible verses. Sometimes my mind wonders and it can turn into worries but I stop and take a deep breathe and keep going. These are the two videos I have been currently using.
The other challenge I am working on for September is Do at Least Ten Jumping Jacks every day for 30 days. This is a piece of cake because it is quick and easy and you can do it any where. Almost anyone can do this challenge and it is easy to combine with another one.
These may not be intense challenges but they are challenges and I love them! Plus I get to pick out fun stickers! I get to really focus my day and I get to praise God that my girls are in school and He gives me the peace of mind to do all of this for His glory. I finished Day 8 of this challenge.
What are the challenges you have taken on for the month of September? I hope to hear from you.
Love,
L.L.
